Yokozuna are the best I and my team mates have used. They shift fast. Brake well too.

The change in shifting makes you think you have a groupset one level better than what you already have. The housings are that stiff, that it creates a faster shifting response.

The brake housing is the same way, but oddly enough, I had to omit the piece from my toptube to rear brake because the housing was so stiff, that the bend was creating friction. Replaced with a piece of jagwire, and it conformed to the necessary bend better, and problem was solved.

I'm a broke arse grad student, and as long as I can afford to do so, I'm going to stick with yokozuna.

I'm currently running generic Jagwire housing with the PTFE cables from REI, I was really impatient as soon as I got a 2012 RED FD so I just bought whatever was available locally. So far it works very good, I guess I will have to wait a long time before I get to try new housing, I don't want to mess around with it if it works and specially after getting new 3T handlebar tape.

I've been using red with gore ride-on pro for just about one year. Last week I test rode an Evo that the demo guy said was about two weeks old. I couldn't believe the difference in how crisp the shifting was compared to my bike. I didn't think my shifting was slow/bad/sub-par until last week.

The evo was using shimano housings. The demo guy wasn't sure about the inners.

I'm certain there could be additional contributing factors to my experience. I'm ditching the gore cables and either going with yokozuna or nokons.
